I’m officially declaring the grand re-opening of Sarah Snacks!

Well, I think I’m officially back with a brand spanking new design!  A HUGE shout out to Zesty for his help with this!!!  He did an awesome job and I couldn’t be more happy with all the new stuff!!  I definitely recommend him if you need some help with your blog, he does great work obvs, but he is also very patient with the technology deficient (like me! lol)

Anyway, what do you think about the new design??

I think I shall start off with a recipe!  This is what I had for breakfast this morning and is so super simple and very healthy!   Today was pancake day!!  Every once in a while I like to make pancakes in the middle of the week, just for funsies.  I have a pancake mix from whole foods that I like to use for my pancakes, but you can use whatever your fav is or even make them from scratch! 

Now here’s where I got creative this morning…the syrup!  You may or may not remember, but I usually like to buy my maple syrup from the bulk section at Whole Foods or Central Market simply because it’s way more affordable than a bottle from the shelf of the grocery store.  (which can cost up to $20 for the good stuff!  And I only like the real deal when it comes to maple syrup!).  So the last time I bought some I got home and accidently dropped the bottle and it pretty much exploded onto the kitchen floor (I guess I didn’t screw the lid on tight enough at the store?).  Anyway, I haven’t had a chance to get back to WF lately to buy more, but I really wanted pancakes this morning so I decided to use up the blueberries in my fridge and make a blueberry “syrup”.  This is so easy that it will seriously blow your mind!  And you can do this with pretty much any fruit, fresh or frozen.  So without further ado, here’s my blueberry “syrup”!

 

Blueberry “syrup”

(Print this recipe!)

Ingredients:
One pint of blueberries (fresh or frozen)
splash of water
1 tsp sugar (you can omit this if you don’t want to use sugar or you like the tartness of the berries unsweetened)

Directions:
Put blueberries in a small saucepan with a splash of water.  Bring up to a boil and add sugar.  Bring down to a simmer and let it simmer away until it reaches your desired consistency.  I like to mash up the berries a bit with the back of a spoon as it simmers so that it gets nice and thick.  If it gets too thick you can add a little more water.

Spoon onto your pancakes and enjoy!  (this would also be awesome on waffles, biscuits, or even on top of ice cream!)

Super simple.  Super healthy- blueberries are SOOO good for you!
